A Regius professor is a university professor with royal patronage or appointment. They are a unique feature of academia in the British Isles. The first Regius professorship was in the field of medicine, and founded by the Scottish King James IV at Aberdeen University in 1497. Regius chairs have since been instituted in various universities, in disciplines judged to be fundamental and for which there is a continuing and significant need. Each was established by a British monarch, and following proper advertisement and interview through the offices of the university and the national government, the current monarch still appoints the professor (except for those at the University of Dublin in Ireland, which left the United Kingdom in 1922). This royal imprimatur, and the relative rarity of these professorships, means a Regius chair is prestigious and highly sought-after.
Regius professors are traditionally addressed as "Regius" and not "Professor".Glasgow University currently has the highest number of extant Regius chairs, at thirteen.
Professor of Divinity may refer to academics in the field of theology (see divinity) and in particular to chairs in the UK as in the following:
A discussion on the overlap between Philosophy and Religion: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-idealist-view-of-reality There are competing philosophical views of reality. Main contenders are: common sense, reductive materialism, radical empiricism, and idealism. The lecture will review these, and defend an idealist view – that matter is a projection of mind, and that mental, conscious being is the fundamental form of reality. This is one philosophical basis for belief in God.

Jesus’ teaching changed the world, yet his sayings can often seem cryptic and hard to understand. Keith Ward, one of the most distinguished theologians at work today, has spent a lifetime studying the Gospels. He finds the figures of speech and images that Jesus used are all ways of expressing and evoking the self-giving love of God, supremely manifested in Jesus’ own life. He will explore the ways they communicate spiritual truths, often in a poetic rather than literal way, and promise a fulfilment of our hopes for a just and peaceable world that surpasses anything that we might imagine or describe. Chaired by Canon Mark Oakley, part of the Sunday Forum series from Adult Learning at St Paul's Cathedral.

http://trinities.org/blog/podcast-110-dr-keith-ward-on-christ-and-the-cosmos-part-2/ What does it mean to say that God is triune? Is this to say that the one God is a loving community of three divine selves? Or is there but one self common to the Trinity? And does the doctrine of the Trinity, properly understood, say something about how God intrinsically is in himself (or if you like, in “Godself”)? Or is the Trinity about how the ultimate source of all else appears to us human beings? Is God, most properly speaking, an “it”or a “he,” or a “she”? In this episode we tackle these questions, as addressed in Dr. Keith Ward’s Christ and the Cosmos: A Reformulation of Trinitarian Doctrine (kindle). In Dr. Ward’s view, trinitarian teaching needs to be played, as it were, in a new key, to be und...
Professor Ward examines the empiricist philosophy and what it means for the religious person: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/experience-and-the-spiritual-dimension It is a widely held philosophical belief that all knowledge begins with experience. But experience needs to be interpreted. This lecture argues that there are widespread human experiences of ‘transcendence’, and looks at the arts and at morality as providing examples of this. Such experiences need not involve God explicitly, but they postulate the existence of objective values that put in question a materialist view of reality. The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/experience-and-the-spiritual-dimension...

Professor Ward examines the empiricist philosophy and what it means for the religious person: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/experience-and-the-spiritual-dimension It is a widely held philosophical belief that all knowledge begins with experience. But experience needs to be interpreted. This lecture argues that there are widespread human experiences of ‘transcendence’, and looks at the arts and at morality as providing examples of this. Such experiences need not involve God explicitly, but they postulate the existence of objective values that put in question a materialist view of reality.

http://trinities.org/blog/podcast-110-dr-keith-ward-on-christ-and-the-cosmos-part-2/ What does it mean to say that God is triune? Is this to say that the one God is a loving community of three divine selves? Or is there but one self common to the Trinity? And does the doctrine of the Trinity, properly understood, say something about how God intrinsically is in himself (or if you like, in “Godself”)? Or is the Trinity about how the ultimate source of all else appears to us human beings? Is God, most properly speaking, an “it”or a “he,” or a “she”? In this episode we tackle these questions, as addressed in Dr. Keith Ward’s Christ and the Cosmos: A Reformulation of Trinitarian Doctrine (kindle). In Dr. Ward’s view, trinitarian teaching needs to be played, as it were, in a new key, to be und...
Jesus’ teaching changed the world, yet his sayings can often seem cryptic and hard to understand. Keith Ward, one of the most distinguished theologians at work today, has spent a lifetime studying the Gospels. He finds the figures of speech and images that Jesus used are all ways of expressing and evoking the self-giving love of God, supremely manifested in Jesus’ own life. He will explore the ways they communicate spiritual truths, often in a poetic rather than literal way, and promise a fulfilment of our hopes for a just and peaceable world that surpasses anything that we might imagine or describe.

The song a robin sings
Through years of endless springs
The murmur of a brook at eventide
That ripples by a nook where two lovers hide
A great symphonic theme
That's Stella by Starlight and not a dream
My heart and I agree
She's everything on earth to me
A great symphonic theme
That's Stella by Starlight and not a dream
My heart and I agree
